I think it's cuz of the soft cotton and the sensitivity of the inner ear which makes it eurphoric, but ya just wondering if any of you feel the same way about q-tips? :wtf:
Try it, just twirl it around in your ear (not too far), move it a bit side to side and tell me you don't love that feeling!! :disbelief |
Oh Stefan...shocking that you speak of this!! Jen and I had this exact conversation on Saturday:eek: |

no, its a huge syringe (no needle) that is filled with warm water, the water then get pushed in your ear and comes out with earwax.
no matter how you clean your ear with a q-tip the wax always gets pushed in, this could cause temporary hearing loss (untill you go to a doctor clean it) and ear infections which could then affect your hearing. Every doctor that i've talked to told me to never use a q-tip because the wax naturally comes out on its own but you can obviously clean right on the outside if there is a lot of buildup. |

you do not need a specialist for it, if you go in the morning a family doctor will transfer you to a nurse that can get it done for you that same day. It takes over all 5-10 minutes. |

All drug stores sell "Ear Irrigation" kits for $20 that do the same thing as the doctor. Just follow the directions on the box. |
